Lagoon v2.24: Enhanced Developer Control with Modernized Infrastructure

This release of Lagoon strengthens the platform's core infrastructure while delivering powerful new capabilities that give developers and organizations greater control over their environments and workflows.

Platform Modernization

Updated Database Compatibility

API and Keycloak services now support both MariaDB and MySQL 8 databases
MariaDB remains the default internal pod database
Foundation laid for future managed database service integration with Lagoon Core

Core Technology Updates

Keycloak updated to version 26
Golang upgraded to version 1.23
NodeJS upgraded to version 22
These updates improve security posture and ensure compatibility with modern dependencies

Enhanced Developer Control

Improved Environment Variable Management

Enhanced security for environment variables in hosted environments
Added ability to delete variables (previously required unsetting or support intervention)
More intuitive variable management experience across interfaces

Organizational-scoped Environment Variables

Organization admins and owners can now add default environment variables to all projects
Centralized configuration management for multi-project organizations
Accessible and manageable through the UI

Enhanced Cronjob Controls

Set maximum duration for cronjobs to prevent runaway processes
New concurrency limits to prevent identical cronjobs from overlapping
Improved reliability for scheduled operations

Operational Visibility

Extended Audit Logging for Platform Owners

Comprehensive audit logging now natively available in all Lagoon installations
Accessible exclusively to users with platform-owner permissions
Expanded event capturing provides deeper insights into system activities
Logs now stored directly in the database and queryable via GraphQL
No longer requires OpenSearch for access to audit information

Improved Task Management

Task system now offers feature parity with the builds system
Durations displayed in the UI for better tracking
Quality of Service (QoS) implementation in remote controllers automatically distributes tasks
Prevents overloading and resolves concurrency issues across projects

UI Enhancements

Copy functionality added for project and environment name breadcrumbs
Easier integration with CLI or GraphQL tasks
Organization-level variables now manageable directly via the UI
Streamlined navigation and information access

Looking Forward

These improvements support Lagoon's evolution as a developer-focused application delivery platform. By modernizing our infrastructure components while enhancing developer controls, we enable organizations to maintain complete control over their deployment processes while ensuring platform stability and security.
